Dear Stockholders,
The first half year 2007 has again been very successful. This applies both with respect to development of sales and the operating result as well as the number of orders received, which improved further despite their already high level. In addition, we also took a substantial step forward in expanding our product portfolio with the acquisition of Computer Partner Paschmann GmbH.
Analog to our business plan, the focal point of the first half year was on the continual development of our business base. This means that the realization of customer projects as well as the consistent implementation of development strategies are the essential milestones in 2007.
As in the previous years, we are pushing this concentration consistently, because we want to work on the long-term success potential of our company: product quality and customer satisfaction.
We set the goal to bet consistently on innovation and increased sales by 2008 and only secondly in improved profits. We have implemented this strategy over the past years with great determination and have surpassed our targets for the most part.
For this reason, it is that much more good news that the market has given us extremely positive feedback to our company development - in the form of new orders - over the past months. Consequently, our belief that our strategy leads to success has been confirmed and we will pursuit consistently.
But we also see the obligation, which results from our strong market position. We are challenged to realize our tasks in product development and implementation faster and with even more innovation.
Customers trust NEXUS AG and expect highly professional solutions with advanced technology and contents to optimize their hospital processes. These are challenges, which we are glad to face.
Whether we achieve our ambitious goals of the current year will depend on our meeting these challenges. In spite of the very good results from last year, we want to again achieve a big increase in sales and profits. At the same time, consolidation of the Group and of our product portfolio is an essential goal of the current year.
We are very happy that we have succeeded in the half year in meeting our targets and earned a substantial contribution to our annual goal.
Consequently, we have been able to continue the positive development of the last 20 quarters without a break. Sales increased in the first half year by approx. 20% from EUR 11 million to EUR 13.2 million.
The Healthcare Software Division again developed convincingly, and increased by 21.7% from EUR 9.1 to EUR 11.1 million in sales. The sales contribution of one month of NEXUS / PASCHMANN GmbH was consolidated for the first time.
The operating result of the Group also developed positively in the first half year. The EBITDA improved from 2.3 million EUR to 2.5 million EUR (+9.5%) The result before taxes of KEUR 605 was improved from KEUR 562 by approx. 8%; after taxes, an improvement of approx. 20% to KEUR 553 was achieved (1st half year 2006: KEUR 460).
The again positive first half year makes us confident that we will achieve our goals of the current year.
We are faced with very substantial challenges, we have to prove that the market is right in trusting us within our projects. Against the background of our modern product range and our excellent staff, we are convinced that we can do justice to these demands.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ingo Behrendt CEO - NEXUS AG
NEXUS acquired 100% of the shares of its computer partner Paschmann GmbH, Oberhausen as of 4 June 2007. With more than 250 customers, the company is one of the market leaders in the segment of pathology and cytology systems in the German-speaking areas. With this step, NEXUS is expanding its know-how base in this area and consequently is augmenting its product range of special medical solutions consistently.
Pathology – often delegated to basements in hospitals – is playing an increasingly important role, especially in tumor diagnostics (but not only there). Almost every cancer case is diagnosed on the microscope of a pathologist and communicated to clinicians with corresponding treatment recommendations.
In this context, the reliability of laboratory organization as well as the skilled work of laboratory workers is just as important a role as the experience of the doctors working on the microscopes. All those involved are supported effectively using customized software.
The newly developed program package NEXUS / PATHO-LOGY is the most modern pathology program in Germanspeaking regions, based on experience with 140 installations of the PAS (Pathology Application System) and 80 ZytoMaster installations over the past 20 years.
NEXUS / PATHOLOGY is adapted to specific institute workflows from material receipt and electronic registration to contents with digital dictation and photo/video documentation, laboratory support all the way to effective support of the pathologist using the microscope, digital dictation and speech recognition, link of customary microscope cameras and virtual microscopy and telepathology.
Of course, all accounting methods are supported. Close integration in hospital processes is also included with order entry, findings and service data communication to the HIS system used.
Uwe Paschmann, Managing Director of NEXUS / PASCHMANN GmbH

NEXUS Group sales increased from KEUR 11,041 to KEUR 13,239 (+19.9 %) in the first six months of the year 2007. The increase in sales is due to the consolidation effect on one hand, and on the other hand due to the continuing strong demand for NEXUS products.
The Healthcare Software segment is responsible for the good development of sales; its sales increased by 21.7% compared to the same period of the previous year from KEUR 9,100 to KEUR 11,071. Sales in the area of Healthcare Service increased by 11.7 % from KEUR 1,941 to KEUR 2,168.
Group sales increased by 20.4% to KEUR 6,930 compared to the second quarter (Q2-2006: KEUR 5,754). Sales of NEXUS / PASCHMANN GmbH were consolidated for one month for the first time.
This is above all due to further increases of our market share in Switzerland and Austria. The share of sales outside of Germany increased overall from 28% to 41.7 %. Growth stimuli in the first half year came very clearly from international business, while sales in Germany mainly stagnated with KEUR 7,714 following 7,945 in the same period of the previous year (-2.9%).

The positive development of the operating result of the last quarters continued during the reporting period. The Group result improved by 20.2% to KEUR 553 (1st half year 2006: KEUR 460), and the result before taxes improved by 7.7% to KEUR 605 (1st half year 2006: KEUR 562).
The EBTDA increased by KEUR 218 in the first half year of 2007 (previous year: KEUR 2,303) to KEUR 2,521 (+9.5%) now. The positive development of the result figures reflects the positive overall development of the company.
It should be noted here that one-time effects and expenses for company integration are represented in their complete amount in the operating result. This especially applies to the segment Healthcare Software, in which the acquisitions were consolidated.
The segment with a result of KEUR 511 following KEUR 467 was approximately KEUR 44 higher than the value of the previous year (+9.4%), while the seg-
ment Healthcare Service achieved a more considerable result increase of about KEUR 66 to KEUR 42 (previous year: KEUR -24).
At KEUR 1,428 the operative cash flow is at the level of the previous year (First half year 2006: KEUR 1,440), whereby especially the increase of accounts receivable resulted in charges. Cash reserves decreased to 14.1 million € against the background of payments for purchase of Computer Partner Paschmann GmbH and greatly increased current assets of 17.4 million EUR on 31 December 2006. The still high amount of cash reserves will increase again from expected payments from projects during the current year.
Number of employees increased by 32 employees to 279 on the cutoff date. See also chart below:

The Director's Holdings of the supervisory board and the executive board were as follows on June 30, 2007 in comparison to the previous year:
Strong growth in sales and operating result: we have been able to open our business reports with this result over the past 20 quarters. This continual organic and strong growth, which is also the result of acquisitions, has characterized our development over the past years. This represents successful development without restrictions in a complex environment with substantial stress of competition. This is especially the case against the background of the many new projects, which we won in the past months.
We are now faced with new challenges. In the upcoming months, it will be a question of completing our projects with a high degree of quality and on time. The projects not only represent sales for us, but they are also proof of our operating efficiency and consequently publicity for our company at the same time.

We are looking at substantial growth potential, which is very promising both in the short term and in the long run. But this requires that we can use our projects successfully as a sales message.
We are going to concentrate on these topics for the rest of this year. It will be a question of not only achieving our goals this year, but also of creating the basis for next year. The prerequisites are good: large amount of orders on hand, good technology and a motivated staff. Our development till now makes us confident that we will have success with these prerequisites.
There are no significant changes in the financial situation of the group compared to 12/31/2006.

The owed deferred income, which was shown as separate positions in the balance sheet in the previous year, has the character of other assets and is shown under this position for this reason. The previous year's statement has been adjusted accordingly..
Conditions of the financial liabilities listed above:
On 6 July 2007, the Bundesrat passed the Corporate Tax Reform Law 2008, which - among other things - stipulates reduction of the corporate tax rate to 15% and elimination of the deductibility of trade tax from the valuation basis for corporate income tax.
As a result, there will be overall taxing of corporations of almost 29% in the future. For calculated deferred taxes in the Group Financial Statement, the deferred taxes and accounts payment should be valuated using the tax rates, which apply to the period, in which an asset was realized or a debt was paid.
Because the Corporate Tax Reform Law 2008 was passed after the cutoff date of the half year report, the tax effects of the Corporate Tax Reform Law 2008 are to be considered in the report for the third quarter 2007.
Seasonal effects resulted in the NEXUS Group operations with regards to the receipt of maintenance revenues in the first quarter of the financial year (deferment of the influences on the result of corresponding incoming payments throughout the year) and significantly greater demand and project accounting in the fourth quarter of the financial year.
To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for interim financial reporting, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view ot the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group, and the interim management report of the group includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the group, together with a description ot the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the group for the remaining months of the financial year.
